Common Examples and Causation in Ancient Indian Philosophy
The chapter explores examples used by Niyaya and Vysheshika philosophers to discuss causation in ancient Indian philosophical literature, including the ceramic pot, cloth made of threads, and chopping down a tree. It delves into the concept of substrate and non-substrate causes and draws a parallel with Aristotle's four types of cause.
